Rapid heartbeat tension during blood pressure measurement may be caused by physiological factors such as emotional tension of the patient, or it may be caused by pathological factors such as hyperthyroidism. According to the different reasons, general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment should be given.
1. Physiological factors: patients may be worried about abnormal blood pressure measurement and other easily lead to emotional tension, causing increased sympathetic excitability, peripheral vasoconstriction, accelerated heart rate, increased myocardial contractility, increased cardiac output, and ultimately lead to increased blood pressure. Patients can relieve tension through rest and distraction, and can also assess their own blood pressure through 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring.
2. Hyperthyroidism: Patients synthesize and secrete too much thyroid hormone, which may lead to rapid heartbeat, panic and nervousness, and high blood pressure. Patients can follow the doctor’s instructions to apply methimazole and other anti-thyroid drugs for treatment, drug treatment is ineffective or severe hyperthyroidism patients can be under the guidance of the doctor to carry out thyroidectomy for treatment.
The heart beat faster when measuring blood pressure is mostly due to the patient’s emotional tension caused by sympathetic nerve excitation, but also can not be ruled out is a symptom of hyperthyroidism and other diseases, so the patient is best to consult a doctor in a timely manner, improve the relevant examination, under the guidance of the doctor to standardize the treatment.
